I meant coincidence in that bad health issues cropped up for three different people who appeared on the same season, not that there weren't legitimate reasons for each health issue.

Thanks, Lantern!

Except that he said himself he didn't want her to back off. Not that I'm thrilled to see her being slotted in as the inevitable loser once Sam and Jason rediscover their twu wuv and all, but she's not currently (and hasn't been) doing anything that he doesn't encourage and welcome.

From what I understand, that was a huge part of the reason TB left and they recast - she played Carly as done with Sonny and she wanted to see the character grow beyond Sonny. But the show (and MB at the time, I think) saw Carly as Sonny's property.

Do we have a spoiler thread for the current season? I looked before posting it here, and didn't see one.

If that rumor is true, color me shocked that TG isn't playing Pat. As for the possibility of an Ava/Sonny marriage to get custody, I can't see it. Ava would be smarter to marry Silas and go for custody with him.

You know, between that and Nik cheating on Emily with Courtney because Emily didn't get over being raped by Nik's doppelganger quickly enough, Spencer has the best male role models in is life.

I'll be disappointed if we don't get an "are you fucking kidding me??" kind of reaction out of Sarah, given that

I'm not sure exactly what happened. There was a rumor that someone I wonder how much of what happens they'll show or explain. The final teams are

Yes,

I didn't know where else to put this. It's a spoiler, but not about an Ex-ile match. So I'll spoiler tag it here, just to be safe: Apparently, right before the final,

I hope Michael points out that the reason Claudia went off the rails and kidnapped pregnant Carly was because Sonny decided to publicly humiliate a woman he knew was a loose cannon. "And, then, after she was rescued, Sonny shot her in the head while she was giving birth!" Or at least wash the shoe polish off. I seriously want to know what's up with that. Did he (or his wife, or someone at the show) take note of how much people noticed the gray in his beard while Sonny was in prison, and decide that he needed to try to look younger? It's ridiculous, because most people seemed to think he looked good with the gray, even people who can't stand Sonny. The shoe polish just makes him look insecure and vain along with a side of desperate. The gray looked so much better.

Because Carly never hired nannies to raise her kids. Nope. Nope. Nope. Never happened. I guess it would be her worst nightmare for a nanny to raise Avery because she sees raising Avery as her ticket back to Sonny's little moobster and its shoe-polished pubes?

Yeah, all that anguish about how he needs to get to Spencer in the hospital rightnow!!! but the custody hearing! Whatever is a shoe-polished mobster with a heart of gold to do?? So obnoxious. It was a dead heat between Sonny's anguish over Spencer and Franco's "Phyllis" crap for most annoying thing GH did to me today. (Seriously, can Y&R get Ron to ceast and desist?)

I think it would be interesting to have TJ as a guest on the reunion show some season. I'd like to hear his take on some of the shit that goes on.

My guess, if we go the DID route, is that we were seeing Luke "trapped" in his own mind, while Fluke was in control. I have zero idea if there is any existing scene that would discredit that idea (would not surprise me if there are many, it's Ron), because I have no patience to actually pay attention to the details in this shit any more. None of it matters though.

I agree. I do think he gets close to some of them - the ones he sees over and over and gets to know. I noticed, for example, that he hugged Jonna when they lost last night. And he really seemed to enjoy how into this stuff Sarah is. I like when he does stuff like judging them for being assholes about who gets sent in. I can't remember what season it was, but people kept sending in the same person over and over, and he was so clearly annoyed by it at some point.

How does Spinelli have no money? The guy worked for Jason, who I assume paid him really well, and he lived rent-free in the "regrettably pink" room in Jason's penthouse. How much fucking orange soda does the guy buy?

That was the best part of the episode. "The black couple wins and they serve fried chicken. But I love fried chicken." I love Leroy so much. I really can't imagine who he'd have to be paired with for me to not still root for him.

I could swear I remember reading, back when she was a regular, that she did her own hair and/or makeup.

That was my thought, too - that the final Exile battle was going to take place in the dome in front of everyone. Otherwise, they let a huge spoiler out of the bag showing the couple coming into the Dome. There is no way it was Zach and Jonna.

I'm going to need the cast to stop with the "Thor" comparisons now. If you're at all conspiracy-minded, it's hard not to look at that Dome as something they used to make sure Zach came back to go on a rampage against Wes and Leroy. But, dude cannot handle a hammer well enough to outdo a guy with one hand. You, Zach, are no Thor. Also, you're an emotionally abusive jackhole. I really, really, really do not want to see Bananas and Nany come back. Seriously, I'll even take DoucheZach back. Just not Bananas. I've never liked Sarah, going back to her Kenny boot-licking days, but I do really like her genuine enthusiasm for all of these games. It's nice to see someone having fun.

Culminating in the return of his dear mother who "somehow" wins the Fan February voting.

You'd think that, since she's clearly afraid of her sister spilling some big secret, that setting her up in the fuck pad would be a smart move. Sis is grateful to be set up in her own place, so she's less likely to blow Maya's spot, and she's somewhat under Maya's thumb, so she can keep an eye on her. Essentially turning her out to the streets when she's clearly looking for some help seems like a bad idea if you're afraid of her spilling dirt on you. Why piss her off or leave her desperate?

It's going to be Dr. O, isn't it?
